Summary

I've tried to clear cache and restart browser. I've also tried incognito browser.

I tried to mark as un-read and mark as read again and it didn't work.

Steps to Reproduce

No idea.

This started to happen a couple days ago.

Technical Details

No errors in the console.

Version

I can't only see BE: 0.17.4. FE is not displayed anymore.

Same issue here, since months. Recently counter got up to 2 phantom unread messages. I have unblocked every user, but this didn't solve the issue either. My instance is beehaw.org. Is this an issue for you still?

What happens when you click the mark all as read button?

I'm also remembering a bug we fixed in the back-end, that stops replies from blocked users. You'll need to tell your instance to update if you want that bug to stop happening.

For me there is no mark all as read button. I click the read icon for every single message I get manually. I also unblocked every user and still no change. The 2 is my new 0. At least on my instance (beehaw.org) I told them in a post. After weeks I looked up the issues here.

lemmy-ui has a mark all as read button, and this is the repo for lemmy-ui. If its hidden for some reason, it means your server is either running a really old version, or you're using a different ui.

Seems resolved, otherwise contact your instance admin to check the database.
